Fuel Oil News reports on the National Biodiesel Conference in San Diego, where a Massachusetts official discussed alternative portfolio credit regulations that allow retailers to earn credits for blending biodiesel. About 30 Massachusetts fuel retailers are registered in the program, mostly selling B20.

After 842 past bullish policy events, Soybean Oil moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (52% higher; middle half -1.6% to +2.1%), and -0.5% over 20.
